On-the-go lunch

In a statement sent to Vegan Food & Living, the brand said: “Inspired by the most popular world cuisines, with Italian in the top three favourite cuisines for 51 per cent of Britons, closely followed by Indian (41 per cent) and Mexican (13 per cent) the range is set to make al-desko dining and speedy lunches tastier and more appealing. 

“What’s more, with nutrition and super fresh, quality ingredients at their heart, our chef-created wrap recipes are packed with plant power, delivering flavour, protein, and fibre, helping to make lunchtimes a little brighter and healthier.”

It added that with data showing that 47 per cent of Brits take just 15-30 minutes for lunch, most people ‘are in need of a speedy lunchtime option’.

“What’s more… 23 per cent of us feel happier and more awake in the afternoon if we have a healthy lunch, but 48 per cent struggle to find healthy fast food options, and 38 per cent believe it’s impossible to be healthy when having shop-bought readymade lunches,” the brand added.

“Our new wraps deliver a convenient, nutritious, and delicious lunch that ticks all the boxes.”
